PILOT EPISODE SYNOPSIS

 

The pilot opens in the hush of early morning, where Nylon, a gifted but troubled graffiti artist, hunches over his desk, sketching the design for a new burner—a bold, defiant piece he and his partner Quentin must paint before the day ends. His mother, Christine, pleads with him to reconsider. He's on probation, and any run-in with the cops could end everything. But Nylon isn’t just chasing adrenaline—he’s chasing a future. A single Polaroid of this piece could land in the hands of a prestigious gallery curator poised to launch his career. He leaves anyway.

​

As daylight cuts through the city, we’re drawn into Nylon’s inner world—his chosen family of artists, dreamers, and ride-or-dies. Anthony and Jason, loyal friends and softball teammates, hold him down no matter the storm. Then there’s Donatello and Raphael Rossi, the comic shop-owning brothers whose nerdy wit and deep-rooted love for street art provide both comic relief and quiet wisdom.

​

At the heart of Nylon’s orbit is Toni-Ann, his fiercest ally since childhood. Steadfast and sharp, her love for him is boundless, but so is her fear—fear that his recklessness might undo everything. Alongside her is Samara, observant and grounded, watching it all unfold.

Countering the warmth of these bonds is Nylon’s frayed relationship with Christine. Once full of light, she’s now hollowed by years of hardship, desperately clawing her way back to connection. Their conversations crackle with unspoken wounds—two souls circling one another in grief, unable to bridge the past.

​

As the sun sinks and the city hums to life, the crew gathers at Lucky 13 Saloon. Neon bleeds onto the sidewalk, metal riffs shake the walls, and the night feels electric—until it doesn’t. Quentin and Nylon never show. An uneasy chill creeps in. Toni-Ann’s laughter fades to worry. Something's off. She rushes out, brushing past Anthony just as Roadkill takes the stage. Standing alone in the shadows, Anthony scans the crowd and realizes: something has gone terribly wrong.
